In the last decade, SUMOylation has emerged as an essential post-translational modification in eukaryotes. In plants, the biological role of SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) has been studied through genetic approaches that together with recent biochemical studies suggest that the plant SUMOylation system has a high degree of complexity. The present review summarizes our current knowledge on the SUMOylation system in Arabidopsis, focusing on the mechanistic properties of the machinery components identified.

RAD18 is a conserved eukaryotic E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes genome stability through multiple pathways. One of these is gap-filling DNA synthesis at active replication forks and in post-replicative DNA. RAD18 also regulates homologous recombination (HR) repair of DNA breaks; however, the current literature describing the contribution of RAD18 to HR in mammalian systems has not reached a consensus.

Gliomas are tumours that affect the nervous system, with glioblastoma, also known as grade IV astrocytoma, being the most aggressive type, associated with poor prognosis. Glioblastoma is characterised by its highly invasive nature, rapid growth, and resistance to conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatments, resulting in a median survival of about 14 months. To improve patient outcomes, novel therapeutic approaches are needed.

Background: TRIM28 plays a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability and establishing imprinting, facilitated by the diversity of KRAB zinc finger proteins. The SUMOylation of TRIM28 is essential for its function and is enhanced in the presence of the KRAB domain. Previously, we demonstrated that Kaiso, another factor capable of interacting with TRIM28, can promote its SUMOylation.

DNA viruses at once elicit and commandeer host pathways, including DNA repair pathways for virus replication. Despite encoding its own DNA polymerase and processivity factor, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) recruits the cellular processivity factor, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and specialized host DNA polymerases involved in translesion synthesis (TLS) to replication compartments (RCs) where viral DNA (vDNA) is synthesized. While the recruitment of TLS polymerases is important for viral genome stability, the role of PCNA is poorly understood.
